Do you get all sorts of god-awful processor noise on the audio outputs
of your Gauntlet board? I sure do. I put "good" speakers in the
cabinet and all the sudden I can hear tons (I weighed it) of
high-frequency cross-talk. Annoying as hell. I installed an EQ to
notch out the more offensive frequencies.

Uhh, oh. Off charter again... Uhhhhh, oh, and I'm going to put the
same kind of amp in my "worlds most beat to death Asteroids machine" to
try to get rid of a weird 60hz hum. (It's odd-- hums like mad *if* the
control panel harness is plugged in. Even "beats" in sequence with the
blinking LEDs on the control panel...)
